Top Tips for Camping with the Kids

Camping with the kids is a great way to spend a vacation thats economical and educational. Preparation is the key to a relaxing trip everyone will enjoy.

Rehearsal Campout
If camping is a new experience, a backyard campout is a good way to introduce your child to things he may find startling or worrisome. Camping in the backyard gets him accustomed to the spooky night sounds and prepares him for the new things hell be experiencing. You can also use this trial run to make notes of things to bring or conveniently forget.

Plan the Trip as a Family

Let the kids help with the planning. Include their food requests, let them pick out toys, games and plan some of the activities. As much as their age and maturity allows, let them be responsible for their own things.

Make the Most of Your Outdoor Adventure

Water, dirt, bugs and other icky stuff are all part of the fun for kids. Let them get filthy, collect disgusting objects and eat things you would cringe at under normal circumstances. Encourage them to explore their surroundings, teaching them safety rules along the way. An outdoor pocket guide of indigenous plants, animals and insects is useful to answer all their questions, and a child-size shovel, bucket and zippered plastic bags to hold their treasures will certainly come in handy.

Bring the Right Equipment and Supplies

You are roughing it, so dont plan to have every modern convenience. Make sure to bring a first aid kit for the inevitable scrapes and bug bites. Bring plenty of sunscreen and a brimmed hat for everyone. Long pants and long sleeve shirts are sometimes overlooked in the summer, but are helpful for overexposure to sun or cool evenings.

Create Memories
Provide everyone with containers for treasures. Zippered storage bags or lidded plastic containers are inexpensive options. Provide disposable cameras for each child, or have them take turns with a digital camera to capture impressions of their adventures. Back at home, they can use their photos and collections to create a shadow box or a scrapbook to display their treasures.

Plan for the Unexpected

If the weather turns wet, provide indoor activities to pass the time. Card games, books and other quiet activities can help repel frayed nerves. Tourist attractions, a trip to a store for supplies or an ice cream parlor can relieve a rainy afternoon of boredom. Although you shouldnt load the car with an entire toy box, younger children will want a few toys. A few toys from the dollar store should be all that is needed. Camping with kids can be a memorable vacation for everyone. Dont expect perfection and be ready with alternatives. Get away from your schedules and commitments, and focus on your family. The benefits will last long after the sunburn and bug bites have faded away.

Camp Kitchen Basics

Camp cooking can be fun if you are creative, plan ahead and keep things simple. The trick is finding a balance between easy preparation, nutritious ingredients, availability and storage. Pack the essential equipment, including storage containers, kitchen tools and food supplies. If youve forgotten something, learn to improvise. Its all part of the fun of camping.

Constructing Your Kitchen Area

Set up a sheltered area with a large tarp in case of rain. Position it out of the wind and away from the tents. If you have a campfire, place your kitchen away from the area for safety.

Camp Kitchen Essentials

Water is essential. If you have fresh water available, bring jugs to carry it from the public facilities. If you bring your own water, plan on two to four quarts per person daily. That does not include water for cooking and cleaning. Stove, fuel and waterproof matches are a must unless you plan to cook all meals over an open campfire. Youll need a table or a stable flat surface for cooking and food preparation. A folding table is ideal and doesnt take up much space in your car. A frying pan and a Dutch oven is enough for cooking the simple meals youll be preparing. Cast iron is best for this type of cooking. A coffee pot can be used to heat water for hot beverages and washing dishes. Dont forget a plastic basin or bowl for dishwashing and clean up, as well as cleaning towels, scrubbies and biodegradable soap. Along with appropriate dinnerware, bring a sharp knife and cutting board, can opener, large spoon, fork and spatula. Bring plenty of aluminum foil, zippered storage bags and lidded plastic containers. Bring two coolers. One cooler is used for beverages, as it will be opened frequently. The second cooler is for food items. Freeze as much of the food for this cooler as possible. Open it only when necessary and the contents should remain cold for up to two days. Learning to make do with what you have is part of the fun and adventure of camping. Just make a list of things youll need to remember next time, and hone your skills in campground cooking.

Staples to Bring Camping

Dont empty your cupboards for your camping trip. Food and its preparation should be simple using as few ingredients and utensils as possible. Planning your camp kitchen supplies will make cooking easy and minimize cleanup.

Disposable, No Clean Up Cooking

Bring plenty of heavy duty aluminum foil. Use it to line pans for easy clean up. Many recipes use individual foil cooking packets for a meal with virtually no clean up. Shish kabob sticks are useful for cooking meats, vegetables and various other non-kitchen related ideas the kids will invent.

Oils and Spices

Cooking spray is a godsend. It takes up little space, prevents sticking and has no calories. There are sprays for both pans and grills. Bring oil in a sealed, plastic container. Butter or margarine in a plastic tub travels well. Dont bring your entire spice rack. Choose flavors the family likes. Salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders, seasoned salt and basil are very basic. Add favorites for grilling meats or seasoning stews and casseroles.

Cans and Condiments

Be sure to include your favorite condiments. Ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, barbeque and teriyaki sauces are all family favorites. Brown sugar is used in a number of main course dishes and desserts. Salad dressings, dry onion soup mix and salsa are versatile flavorings, and vinegar is useful in cooking and cleaning. Tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and creamed soups are staples that make stews, soups and casseroles easy to prepare quickly. Canned baked beans and green beans are the start to a number of easy side and main dishes, so be sure to pack a few of your favorite varieties.

Dairy Products
Eggs and cheeses are staples in a campside kitchen. They store well and are versatile for every meal.

Breads, Pasta and Rice

Bisquick is used for many recipes; fluffy pancakes, hearty dumplings and toppings for cobbler style desserts. Refrigerator biscuits are useful, if you have proper cold storage. Tortillas, bread and buns are a mainstay. Use the bread and rolls early in the expedition, and save the tortillas for later use as they have a longer shelf life. Uncle Bens Ready Rice is great to have on hand for casseroles and to serve as a side for many hearty meals.

Vegetables
Onions, potatoes and carrots keep well. Celery, if kept in an airtight container, will be a welcome addition for flavoring many casseroles and foil pouch meals.

Meats
Hamburger, hotdogs, bacon, chicken breasts and sausage of all kinds are campground staples. Plan your menus around a few basic meat choices. There are so many recipes from which to choose, dinner will never be boring. Take time to plan quick and easy menus, but dont be rigid. Camping should be fun and relaxing for everyone, including the cook. Here is a printable checklist that will keep your camping organized.
